Exciting news for young budding tennis champions, or any young person wanting to give the sport a try, with Medowie Tennis Club’s latest announcement.

Medowie Tennis Club are going to hold a camp in the Christmas holidays for boys and girls to improve their tennis skills.

The club currently has a lot of children, and would love to encourage more friends to join them.

The Tennis Camp dates are 18, 19 and 20 January, with a small fee of $30 per child to cover costs.

The camp will start at 9am and finish at 12 noon each day and is a wonderful chance to polish up your skills or to pick up a new sport.

For information about the camp please call Sam on 0421460748.

The Medowie Tennis courts are of a high quality and the ladies in the committee have worked very hard to bring them to this standard.

President Diane Rees told News Of The Area, “We are so lucky to have these tennis courts in our town, and we would love to see even more people utilise them.”

“Tennis is a wonderful sport, it offers a wonderful chance for children to be active, be healthy and enjoy this great game.”

“I have been playing tennis since I was a very young child in a very small school in the Snowy Mountains region, and value the sport so much from my childhood,” she said.

The club would also like to remind the community that on Tuesday mornings Ladies tennis starts at nine, and children are welcome to come and play while mums play tennis.

Mixed tennis is held on Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm onwards, and on Saturday afternoon from 3pm to 6pm.

Ladies competition tennis is held during the week playing clubs around our district.

Please contact Diane at the club for any membership information on 0419 601 294.
